Hub 2.5 Help

Change the Service Secret

Just like a password for a user account, you may want to change the service secret on a regular basis to maintain security.
You should also change the service secret if a service that is connected to Hub has been compromised.

The procedures that are described on this page only apply to an external Hub instance.
Do no attempt to change these settings in JetBrains team tools that use an internal Hub service.

In Hub, you can generate a new service secret, or set the service secret manually.
If the service secret is saved on the client side, you must also change the service secret in the connected service.

Prerequisites

You must have access to the relevant properties file in the connected service.
If you do not change the service secret in the connected service, the service will not be able to connect to Hub.

To change the service secret

In the external Hub service, select Services from the Server Settings section of the Administration menu.

Select the service from the list.

On the Settings tab, click the Change button next to the Secret setting.

The Change Service Secret dialog opens.

In the Change Service Secret dialog, you can either:

Generate the new secret automatically:

Copy the new secret.

Click the Change secret button

Change the new secret manually:

Select the Change tab.

Enter and confirm the new secret. Record the value that is set for the new secret.
You need to update this value in the properties file of the service.

Click the Change secret button.

Set the service secret property to the new service secret in the connected service.
